Choosing an HVAC contractor in California

A useful estimate starts with the right questions.

Check the contractor’s credentials

Check the contractor’s license with the relevant state licensing authority before you hire. A listing in this directory does not mean we have verified a license.

Compare more than one written estimate

Ask what work, equipment and warranty each estimate includes. Compare the scope as well as the total; do not choose on price alone.

Ask about insurance and payment terms

Request evidence of insurance and a clear written payment schedule. Keep a copy of the agreement.
